Default Front Bumper Hardware

I'm trying rebuild my '68 Bird and most of the nut, bolts and fasteners were pieced together. I ordered a hardware kit but I'm a bit lost since I don't know what goes where with a few of these bags of hardware.

I have attached a pic of the bumper hardware but need some help.
The bolt with the nut (four of them) I know, the other 2 sets of bolts I don't.
Does anyone know where they go on the bumper?
Also, can I find this info online somewhere?

Thx for the info.

That illustration in the Service Manual is what I have been using as well as the illustrated parts breakdown but neither really helped.
The bolts in the middle and right did not come with washers/nuts which is why I confused about where they go.
